2K shows off extended hands-on demo of Mafia: Definitive Edition
2K shows off extended hands-on demo of Mafia: Definitive Edition ahead of the game's release this September. The hands-on was done in partnership with GhostRobo and Haden Blackman.
After showing off an extended look at gameplay back in July, 2K has just released an even longer gameplay showcase of Mafia: Definitive Edition. The over 17-minute long hands-on of the game, which features content creator GhostRobo, shows off more of the game’s combat, as well as rebuilt open world. The hands-on preview also features an interview with Hangar 13 President and CCO Haden Blackman.

This extended hand-on of Mafia: Definitive Edition should excite Mafia fans as it seems that Hangar 13 has made an excellent job in remaking the game from the ground-up. Not only does the combat look much improved, the graphics of the game also looks quite good, especially during the driving and explorations segments.
Not familiar with the game? Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the first Mafia game released back in 2002 for the PS2, Xbox, and PC. The game’s story is described by 2K as:
“After a run-in with the mob, cab driver Tommy Angelo is thrust into a deadly underworld. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri crime family, Tommy soon finds that some rewards are too big to pass up.”
Mafia: Definitive Edition is part of 2K and Hangar 13’s Mafia Trilogy project which consists of the following games:
- Mafia: Definitive Edition
- Mafia II: Definitive Edition – an ultra HD remaster of Mafia 2;
- Mafia III: Definitive Edition – a re-release of Mafia 3.
Mafia: Definitive Edition releases on September 25, 2020 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Upon launch, the game will be available as a standalone purchase. The game will also unlock on release day for players who have bought the Mafia Trilogy now until September 25.
